I have been putting a lot of thought to the fact that I think boys are completely screwed in today’s school system. Well, I think girls are too, but boys tend to be the ones with attention issues.

I had a Shit Day
ADD ADHD ADHD in Business Attention Deficit Designer Attention Deficit Disorder Creativity Personal ThoughtsI had an absolute shit day at work recently. If you add up all the positive aspects of the day, you’d think I was insane. The office was empty. We’re busy as can be right now. Bills are being paid. Co-workers were on vacation or on site at a client’s. It was quiet, and I [...]
Bending the World to Your Will
ADD ADHD Personal ThoughtsI’ve been thinking about a blog post by Penelope Trunk about how she thinks Marissa Maier has Asperger Syndrome. It is one of those posts that can get one thinking on many levels. First, it takes some serious brass balls to make a public statement like that. But then again, I am Maier has heard [...]
ADHD and Bloodtype?
ADD ADHD Personal ThoughtsLet me start this post based on the idea that this is a completely hair-brained theory. It isn’t based in any research, nor is it based on anything resembling fact.

What inspired me to write floor hockey was less the floor hockey and [...]
Later
ADD ADHD Attention Deficit Disorder Personal ThoughtsLater. It’s a simple word, really.

As with most things ADD, “later” is another one of those things that falls on the spectrum of [...]
Music is essential for an ADDer
ADD ADHD Personal ThoughtsFriend and Colleague Michael DiTullo posted a video about the emotional power of music (you can see it below). It’s one of those things that taps to the core of humans. I see it as a basic need, similar to food, water, and sex. The world wouldn’t survive without it. [tentblogger-youtube NKDXuCE7LeQ] I’ve always loved [...]
Battle Tuned
ADD ADHD ADHD in Business Personal ThoughtsI’ve been reading the first book of the Percy Jackson series with my daughter. You can imagine my amusement when I started reading a book with my daughter where the protagonist turns out to be the half blood son of Poseidon. The part that is actually amusing is the fact that the characteristics of this [...]

ADD ADHD Fun Stuff Personal ThoughtsIt is turning into ride-to-work-Friday for me lately. It is the one day that seems to fall out that I don’t have meetings around town to drive to. I would like to get a bit better at scheduling my week so that I could get at least one more day a week riding in. My [...]
